Common Water Problems

Water quality can no longer be taken for granted. Here in the Greater Chicago Area of Illinois, a variety of factors can
affect how your water tastes, smells, feels and works in and around your home. Well water quality,
possible contamination, an aging water distribution system, specific tank leaching and a home's
plumbing are examples of things that can affect your home's water. Some water problems may not be
as obvious as others. That's why we test your water to determine if water treatment is necessary and
which option is right for you. This through inspection and testing is offered at no cost to you.

Rotten Egg Smell

Hydrogen sulfide in your water give it the
unpleasant "rotten egg" smell. In some cases you
may not even be able to use this water for
cooking or drinking. Manganese is also disguised
under the "rotten egg" smell.REMEDY - Entek Terminator

Chlorine

Some cities purify water by adding chlorine or
chloramines. Adversely, these toxic by-products
alter the taste and smell of the water and can
also cause dry hair and skin, not counting on
many other health related issues.REMEDY - Entek EPS 3 -1 Filtration

Metallic Taste

Usually these are the results of metals in the water such as iron and manganese. They can be dangerous to your health in addition to the unpleasant smell and taste.REMEDY - Titan Iron Buster System

Hard Water

The build up of soap scum in bathrooms and on
faucets is caused by calcium and magnesium ions
in water. This hardness is also responsible for the
demise of appliances which can cause inefficiency
resulting in expensive repairs or replacement.REMEDY - Titan Whole House Conditioner

Fishy Smell

Those orders are caused by algae, mold or
bacteria that can generate from the water and
multiply in a plumbing system. Also related to
Tannin problems found in well water.REMEDY - Titan Hydrogen Peroxide System
